MediaTrim videos directly in your browser. Visual timeline, precise start/end controls, preview your clip, and download — no upload required.
How to trim videos in your browser
Upload your video, drag the start and end handles on the visual timeline, preview your selected clip, and export. The entire process happens in your browser — no files are uploaded to any server. This makes it ideal for trimming screen recordings, cutting intros and outros from tutorials, or extracting specific segments from long videos. The timeline shows frame thumbnails so you can visually identify the exact moments you want.
Video editing without software
Traditional video trimming requires desktop software like Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or FFmpeg command-line tools. Online alternatives often require uploading your video to a server and creating an account. This tool runs entirely in your browser using the MediaRecorder API, which means your video stays on your device, there is no file size limit imposed by a server, and you can work offline after the page loads.
Export formats and quality
The trimmed video is exported as WebM format using your browser's built-in video encoding. WebM is supported by all modern browsers and media players, and provides good compression with high quality. The export process captures the selected segment in real time, so export takes approximately the same duration as your trimmed clip. For longer clips, a progress bar shows the export status.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The video is loaded into your browser's memory and all processing happens locally on your device. Nothing is uploaded to any server.
Why is export not instant?
The browser captures the trimmed segment by playing it through the MediaRecorder API in real time. This means a 30-second clip takes roughly 30 seconds to export. A progress bar shows the current status.
What output format will I get?
Trimmed videos are exported as WebM format, which is supported by all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari) and most media players. WebM provides good compression with high visual quality.
